Which Vessel?

a poem by Tukaram

by Harry Chitrakar Kottler

Some fill gold cups with poison;

they fill them with their pride.

Some fill tin cups with honey;

they find the Lord inside.

Appearances mean little.

The truth is not skin deep.

Tuka says, “You are given the choice.

Which vessel will you keep?”

“Your fantasies can be eliminated only if you keep the company and receive the love, compassion, and kindness of one in whom the truth is manifest. Ponder this and understand it.” Baba Muktananda in “THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP” p.69
